IMPROVEMENT IN COAT-FACINGS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 207,629, dated September 3, 1878; application filed January 25, 1878.

7 To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MOSES O. SWIFT, of the city of New Bedford, county of Bristol, and State of Massachusetts, have inventeda new and useful Improvement in Goat Facings, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawing, in Which- Figure 1 is a View of the inside of a coat with my continuous shoulder and pocket support facing attached. Fig. 2 is a View of the facing for one-half of the coat before being joined at the back of the scye.

The object of my invention is to furnish a facing for a coat which shall serve to keep the garment in proper shape and prevent the unsightly Wrinkle which usually forms in front of the shoulder in coats which are faced in the ordinary Way, and also to re-enforceits strength and durability about the shoulder, the breast, and scye, at the same time affording ease and freedom in the fit of the garment.

In the drawing, A is the coat. B B are the facings, joined together at 0. a a is the scye, around which the points I) and d in Fig. 2 are joined at e, as shown in Fig. 1.

The facing being made of the same material as the outside of the coat, and extending around the scye and across the back, as shown in Fig.
